Sheep Crutching Trailers

Crutch Faster. Work Smarter. Save Your Back. 

Is it time to make crutching easier?

Crutching is one of the most physically demanding and time-consuming jobs on the farm. It takes skilled labour, good weather, and plenty of patience. The Perkinz CrutchMaster has been designed to make the job faster, easier, and safer for both you and your sheep.

Trusted by farmers and contractors throughout Australia and New Zealand, the CrutchMaster helps you get more sheep through with less effort and less downtime.

With more than 400 trailers in operation, over 200 million sheep crutched, and 15+ years of proven performance, it’s become the crutching system farmers rely on season after season.

Why People Are Choosing the CrutchMaster

Save Time

The CrutchMaster doesn’t make you crutch faster; it eliminates the wasted time between sheep. Once you find your rhythm, sheep flow naturally through the trailer, allowing you to spend more time crutching and less time repositioning animals.

Most users report:

•          20–30% faster overall crutching
•          Less downtime between sheep
•          More sheep completed each day
•          Less pressure during busy periods

Simple, Reliable Design 

The best equipment is equipment that simply works. The CrutchMaster has just one moving part.

There are:

•          No noisy compressors
•          No complicated electronics
•          No switches or levers to operate
•          Very little to maintain

Just bring the sheep in, crutch them, and let them out. Simple. Reliable. Proven.

Easier on You

Crutching is hard enough without wrestling sheep all day. The CrutchMaster positions sheep for easy access, reducing lifting, twisting and unnecessary strain. Once you’re into the flow, you’ll spend your time crutching, not fighting the equipment.

At the end of the day, you’ll notice the difference.

Safe for Your Sheep

The CrutchMaster has been independently tested alongside one of New Zealand’s major meat processors. The result? No bruising. No unnecessary stress. Gentle handling for both ewes and lambs. Good stock handling isn’t just better for your animals, it’s better for your business.

Work Around the Weather 

One of the biggest advantages of the CrutchMaster is the ability to crutch damp sheep when conditions allow. Instead of waiting days for sheep to dry out, you have greater flexibility to work around changing weather, labour availability, and farm demands.

That means:

•          Less weather disruption
•          Better control of your schedule
•          More opportunities to get the job done when it suits you

Easy to Tow, Ready in Minutes 

The 2-stand CrutchMaster weighs only 740kg, making it easy to tow.

When you’re ready to work:

•          Park it where you need it
•          Lift the roof
•          Hang your gear
•          Start crutching

No complicated setup. No wasted time.

Designed by a Shearer

The CrutchMaster wasn’t designed by engineers trying to guess how sheep behave. It was designed, tested and refined by a professional shearer who understands what works in the yards and what doesn’t. Every detail has been developed to improve sheep flow, operator comfort and overall productivity.

More Than Just a Crutching Trailer

The CrutchMaster is designed to handle far more than basic crutching.

Use it for:

•          Full crutching
•          Pizzle trimming
•          Eye wig removal
•          Bum flicks
•          Foot inspection and trimming

There’s no need to separate lambs from ewes; it comfortably handles both. Its compact, mobile design requires only a small generator, making it ideal for crutching wherever it’s needed.
